What classics did you see last week, Nov 28 to Dec 4?

BELFAST (2021). My Rating: 9 out of 10. Highly Recommended. Almost certain to be a Best Picture contender, this marvelous, tender memoir set in a turbulent time in Irish history and seen through the eyes of a 9-year-old boy is also likely to score Oscar nominations for writer-director Kenneth Branaugh, Caitriona Balfe and Ciarán Hinds.



 





THE RESCUE (2021). 9 out of 10. Highly Recommended. A riveting, moving, must-see documentary which will be Oscar nominated.



THE ELECTRICAL LIFE OF LOUIS WAN. 8 out of 10. Recommended. While whimsical, romantic, funny and, at times, deeply tragic, this is strangely uplifting for a film about mental illness, and it's also about the magic of cats. Benedict Cumberbatch is extraordinarily good here.

           

              







THE LAST DUEL (2021). 7,5 out of 10. Recommended. 









ATTICA. 8 out of 10. Recommended.




IT ALWAYS RAINS ON SUNDAY (1947). 8 out 10. Recommended.

 



KING OF COOL (2021). 8 out of 10. Recommended, a fascinating documentary about Dean Martin.



SURVIVE THE GAME (2021). 4 out of 10. Utterly generic, mediocre B movie.
